lMPROVEIVlENT IN FOUNTAIN PAINT-BRUSHES;

The schedule referred tolln these Let-ten; 19am: and meldng par-tie! the 'sarne.

. T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL J. Knnnooe, oi Tole: do,-in the'county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented a new and-useful Improvement in Fountain Paint-Brush; and ldo hereby declare that the following is a i all, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled-in the the same, reference 'beini' had to the accompanying drawing ib'rming par-tot this specification, in which-- The figure'is a detail longitudinal section of my improved fountain paint-lirushl.

'My invention'has for its object to furnish animproved paint-brush, which shall he so constructed as tofretain the paint in such a way that itwill not en: crust and become useless, and which will prevent the brush from drying, so that it will not need to be washed, thus saving much time and annoyance to the artist; and

It consists in the construction and combination of the various parts of the brush, as. hereinafter more fully described.

A is the handle, to the lower end of which is'se curely attached a screw-cap, B, which screws upon the upper end or niouth' of the reservoir'G.

.D-is the brush, which is inserted in the lower or tapering end of the reservoir (3.

The upper part of the brush 1), that is inserted in thereservoir C," is wound with lamp-wi'clg'E, or is connected with cloth, sponge, or other material capae bio of absorbing the paint and-conveying it to the brush.

In the case OHQng-haired brushes,- thehrush mayart to make. and use for1n, its shape being immaterial so long as space he left for the paint, and so long its shape is such as not to inconvenience the artist in using the brush.

'. G is a cap, made of such a shape as to correspond with the shape of thehrush-D, and which screws upon the lower end of the reservoir 0, as'shown in the figure, to cover and protect thebrush when not in use. Having thus described my invention, I

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- V 1. The combination of the handle A, screwy-cap B, reservoir O, b'rush D, spring F, and cap G, with each other, whether the conductor'E be used or not, su'h stantially as herein shown and described, and for'the purposeset forth. r

2. The combination of the lamp-wick E, or equivalent conductor, with the brush D, spring F, reservoir 0, cap B,;handle A, and cap G, substantially ashorein-shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
